A step of one source line is achieved by placing breakpoints at every line and then running the program. However, if you run at full speed to a breakpoint and then request a line step SDBG will have to first place breakpoits at every executable line. The Windows debugging APIs that control the setting of breakpoints is quite slow and soit can take a short while. You can also see the delay when going from successive steps to a continue.
